Learn from the Past

The study of Art History develops the student’s ability to place a work of art in its historical, cultural, social and political contexts by developing both analytical and visual skills. While an undergraduate concentration in art history many lead directly to graduate studies and a career in teach and scholarly research, there are numerous opportunities in museums, galleries, auction house and publishing companies.
